Sending a Fax at a Later Date and Time

The delayed transmission feature allows you to send documents at a specified date and time, and frees you from the need to manually start the transmission. You can program a transmission delay to occur at any time on the day of your transmission, or at any time over the next three days.

You can program your machine to send one de- layed fax at a time either from the document feeder or from memory. Refer to the table below to decide which method you want to use.
